Indifference

I am sorry to read of the following news:

A lot of times, when something out of the ordinary happens we generally tend to watch and not doing anything. Perhaps each of us are scared, worried and just bo-chup?

Would it have made a difference if someone did come out to help him? Would he might have survive?

Applicable in life, a lot of times we generally tend to watch and not do anything when someone have asked for help or could do with some help.

Would it made a difference to the someone if one of us did help?

Sometimes when someone is sitting alone next to me, there's always a very strong urge for me to want to make conversation.

I find it hard to walk away from someone who looks like they could do with some help. Eg, a couple taking photographs. An old lady with trolley walking down the stairs. Tourists looking lost.

How about you? Are you able to walk away and be nonchalent about life as you thought life has forgotten about you?
